FOREST AND STREAM 
[Oct. io, 1908. 
Indianapolis Gun Club, 
Hudson Gun Club. 
West Toledo Gun Club. 
Indianapolis, Ind.—Twenty-one shooters turned out to 
take part in the regular weekly club shoot of the Indian¬ 
apolis Gun Club, Saturday afternoon, Oct. 3, and a fine 
day it was for the occasion. 
The interest of the afternoon focused on the contest 
for _ a purse of $50, which the club hung up for com¬ 
petition among those who had during the past year won 
the English Hotel cup one or more times in challenge 
races. Out of the eight eligible contestants seven were 
present with a determination to set a new high record. 
Their scores, out of 100 targets, were: 
Britton . 18 18 20 17 20—93 
Wise . 19 18 18 20 15—90 
Denny . 14 19 18 19 18—88 
Moller . 17 17 19 18 14—85 
Parry . 14 16 18 19 17—84 
Moore . 15 18 13 17 19—82 
Sayles . 11 15 14 16 19—75 
In the Moore trophy event, one of 10 pairs of double 
targets at 16yds. rise, Moore scored 16, Roland 14, Brit¬ 
ton 13, Sayles 12, Moller 10, Denny 10, Wise 9, Dixon 9, 
Parry 9. 
In the Britton trophy event of 50 targets at sliding 
distance handicaps, Sayles, shooting from 17yds., broke 
43. and Moller from 19yds., 42 targets. 
The contest for the Moller trophy has simmered down 
to but two possibilities—Parry and Britton, each of 
whom has broken 120 out of 125 targets shot at in the 
contest. This is a series of weekly events that has been 
running since Aug. 22, of 25 targets each week, distance 
handicaps, permitting the use of two shots. Next Sat¬ 
urday marks the close of the contest period, and the tie 
between Parry and Britton will have to be shot off. 
Each of these contestants have been shooting from the 
19yd. mark throughout the contest, and the final event 
of next Saturday will likewise be shot by them from 
that firing line. A peculiarity of this pretty race—one 
that must be known to make the situation fully appre¬ 
ciated-—is that Parry has been suffering from a bad 
tooth and swollen jaw during the past week, and Dr. 
Britton is treating it for him. It would seem, therefore, 
that Britton has his adversary completely at his mercy.

The merchandise handicap: Gardiner first prize with

were to decide the tie for the Du Pont trophy between 
Keyes and Gardiner. The Du Pont trophy was shot for 
during May, June and July, and the tie has been held 
off on account of Keyes having been operated upon for 
appendicitis. We are glad to report he has entirely re¬ 
covered. Scores in^ this event: “39,” Robson, Farwell 
and Forsyth, one point each; Tomlinson, 2 points; Keyes 
and Gardiner, 3 points each, Gardiner winning the shoot- 
off and trophy.

the tie left over from Sept. 12, and also to-day’s point, 
making him _4 points, thereby winning the cup. Other 
scores in this event: Gadiner, 3 points; Farwell, “39,” 
Walls, Keyes and Harvey, one point each. Shot for dur¬ 
ing April to October. 
The Baker handicap, prizes three Batavia special shot¬ 
guns, one donated by the Baker Gun and Forging Co., 
the other two purchased by the club: 
Class A—To-day’s point was tied for by “39,” and 
Gardiner. Shoot-off won by Gardiner, making him 4 
points, and the gun in Class A. Other points in this 
Class: Walls, 3; “39” and Tomlinson, 2 each; Keyes, 1. 
Class B—Harvey won to-day’s point, making him 5 
points and winner of the gun in Class B. Other points 
in this class: Watson, Farwell and Barnes, 3 each. 
Class C—Lortz won to-day’s point, making him 6 
points, and winner of the gun in class C. Other points 
in this class: Forbes, Templeman and Sill, one point 
each. This event was shot during April to October, 
the shooters being changed from one class to another 
as their shooting warranted. 
Chas. W. Gardiner, Pres. 
Shelby Gun Club. 
Jersey City, N. J.—There were eighteen shooters that 
wended their way to the grounds of the Hudson Gun 
Club, to attend the regular bi-monthly shoot, Sept. 27, 
and quite a number of good scores were made. 
In the first event, 50 targets, shot in two strings of 
25 each, H. L. Brown and Wm. O’Brien tied on high 
score with 47 each, while Schorty, standing at 20yds., 
was hot after them with 46, and as targets are thrown 
fully 50yds. at the grounds, the above scores are very 
good.

Columbus Gun Club. 
Columbus, O., Oct. 3. —The Saturday afternoon shoot 
at the Columbus Gun Club was greatly enjoyed, owing 
to the splendid weather conditions. A number of straight 
scores were made by the different shooters, Weber’s two 
25 straights together were a fine performance. Mr. J. Y. 
Bassell broke 46 out of 50 with a new gun. Mr. Le 
Noir made three straight scores, one 10 and two 15s. 
Weber was high in the Du Pont trophy race with 22 
from 20 yds.

Arlington range, Lansdowne avenue and Cedar lane, near 
Llanerch, Pa. We were pleased to have as visitors 
Dr. Mitchell and Messrs. Rudolph Colehower and F. 
Schnerring, who. had an interesting afternoon with a 
.45-99, high velocity. Dr. Byers and Walter Smith were 
out after a long absence. Schnerring is having trouble 
with his .32-40, and unaccountable wild shots spoiled every 
score. We were glad to see Williamson break into the
